Well, it will be 20 years in about a week. The memories of those first few days in 1999 are seared into my memory. I wish all those struggling with their initial diagnosis peace and strength as they set out on this journey. I was diagnosed Stage III, so don't give up hope.

For all of you, I wish you continued blessings. A few emotional setbacks this year for me but nothing I can't handle. About to be published for the first time in my academic career...that's an unexpected gift.
